template< class T, class U > concept common_with = std::same_as<std::common_type_t<T, U>, std::common_type_t<U, T>> && requires { static_cast<std::common_type_t<T, U>>(std::declval<T>()); static_cast<std::common_type_t<T, U>>(std::declval<U>()); } && std::common_reference_with< std::add_lvalue_reference_t<const T>, std::add_lvalue_reference_t<const U>> && std::common_reference_with< std::add_lvalue_reference_t<std::common_type_t<T, U>>, std::common_reference_t< std::add_lvalue_reference_t<const T>, std::add_lvalue_reference_t<const U>>>; |  | (since C++20)

The concept `common_with<T, U>` specifies that two types `T` and `U` share a common type (as computed by std::common_type_t) to which both can be converted.

### Semantic requirements

T and U model std::common_with<T, U> only if, given equality-preserving expressions `t1`, `t2`, `u1` and `u2` such that decltype((t1)) and decltype((t2)) are both `T` and decltype((u1)) and decltype((u2)) are both `U`,

- std::common_type_t<T, U>(t1) equals std::common_type_t<T, U>(t2) if and only if `t1` equals `t2`; and
- std::common_type_t<T, U>(u1) equals std::common_type_t<T, U>(u2) if and only if `u1` equals `u2`.

In other words, the conversion to the common type must preserve equality.

### Equality preservation

Expressions declared in requires expressions of the standard library concepts are required to be equality-preserving (except where stated otherwise).
